Emily VanCamp joins ‘The Resident’

Emily VanCamp has been cast as the female lead in Fox’s medical drama “The Resident,” Variety has learned.

The pilot marks her return to broadcast television, following a starring run on ABC’s “Revenge,” which ended after four seasons.

“The Resident” follows an idealistic young doctor who begins his first day under the supervision of a tough, brilliant senior resident who pulls the curtain back on all of the good and evil in modern day medicine. VanCamp will play Nicolette, who goes by Nic, and is described as “the attractive nurse” and on-screen love interest to Matt Czuchry, who plays Conrad Hawkins, a cocky third-year resident.
